Heavy rainfall brought by multiple tropical cyclones and monsoon interactions affected northern and central Vietnam from October through mid-November 2025, triggering flooding and landslides that killed at least 300 people and affected around 189 000. Vietnam activated the Union Civil Protection Mechanism on November 13 to request emergency assistance, while rainfall totals of up to 500 mm (20 inches) were forecast through November 20, maintaining high risks of renewed flooding and landslides.
A sequence of late-season tropical systems and monsoon interactions produced prolonged rainfall across large parts of Vietnam beginning in early October.
Typhoons Kalmaegi and Fengshen tracked over the South China Sea, directing persistent moisture into central and northern regions. Their combined influence triggered flash floods, river overflows, and hundreds of landslides in mountainous terrain.
More than 220 000 houses were flooded, damaged, or destroyed, along with widespread losses to roads, schools, and agricultural land.
